Where the Law Failed
The law could command obedience, but only God could empower it. Romans 8:2-4 – And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death. The law of Moses was unable to save us because of the weakness of our sinful nature. So God did what the law could not do. He sent his own Son in a body like the…
Romans 8 part 2 – Who does the tyrant work for?
As the tyrant plots my ruin, God uses him unwittingly for my sanctification. Romans 7:15-8:1I don’t really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don’t do it. Instead, I do what I hate. But if I know that what I am doing is wrong, this shows that I agree that the law is good. So I…
Romans 8 Part one: No Condemnation
The deepest human struggle is not sin itself but living under condemnation. Romans 8:1-2- Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.
Protecting the Heart from Itself!
A heart that demands the throne cannot be trusted with it. Romans 7:15-Romans 8:2, 7-8 – I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. For I know that good itself does…
How The Beloved Love
To experience agape in yourself, is to be overwhelmed by God. Romans 12:9-21 – Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with the…
Lighthearted Evangelism
Stop over-thinking Evangelism! Just Go! Romans 10:13-15 – For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is…
The Hatred of Sin is Supernatural
A saved child of God will hate their sin. 1 John 3:1-8 – See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like…
Life is Perfect.
True Life, both now and forever, is the product of perfection. Romans 6:23 – For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
The Blessing of Conscience and Prayer
Praying continually is asking God to commune with your conscience all day. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-19 – Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit. Romans 8:5-8 – For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but…
